Interested in the mechanisms shaping the extraordinary complexity of the connectome?

Then check out our new preprint, lead by
Francis Normand with a stellar team, showing how geometry constrains connectome architecture:

New pre-print from @alexfornito.bsky.social, @jchrispang.bsky.social, and myself looking at the sensitivity of different methods used to estimate FC/EC in relation to residual motion artifacts and behavioural prediction

The Motion Sensitivity and Predictive Utility of Different Estimates of Inter-regional Functional Coupling in Resting-state Functional MRI.
Numerous methods exist for quantifying statistical dependencies, termed functional coupling (FC), between regional brain activity recorded with resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-...

1000s of studies have been published mapping neuroanatomical changes in psychiatric disorders. Can we ever converge on robust disease phenotypes? Our latest PP led by Trang Cao in a huge collab effort investigates this question...
